Chapter 182 - Beaten Up

The man who had hit Wang Ming felt just as surprised as him. He had used significant force in that punch, more than enough to cripple a normal person, yet Wang Ming's arms were still intact, even more surprising he's still standing. There's few people in China who could withstand his punch, he didn't think he would meet someone in Liaoling city. If it had been someone from a distinguished family from Shanzou city, the capital of HanMeng district, he would understand.

"Who are you? Who's your master?"

Wang Ming felt his hands burn, but he couldn't show weakness here. If he did, then the man might just kill them both. He honestly doesn't have much confidence in beating the man in front of him. "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Wang Ming said with an arrogant tone. He had never acted so c.o.c.ky before, and it made him feel weird doing it.

"Zhou Jian, my master is the respectable sage Feng Shuang the last inheritor of the Kunlun heritage." Zhou Jian didn't react too much to Wang Ming's c.o.c.ky attitude as he had met many strong martial artists before, most young as Wang Ming thinks that they're on the top of this world.

"Wang Ming, master is Jie, martial arts lunatic." Wang Ming had no reason to lie now. Not only does Cao Hu know who he is, all the men from HouZi Gang know who he is. It would just take a simple investigation to find out all information they want about him.

Zhou Jian furrowed his eyebrows, even though he can't say that he knows about all true martial artists in China. Someone with Wang Ming's abilities, especially with his age, should be famous, yet he had never heard about him or his master. "I don't want to take advantage of you, since your injured. If you let me leave with Young Master Cao, then we won't need to fight."

Even though Zhou Jian felt that he would have the upper hand against Wang Ming, even if he's at peak condition. Zhou Jian doesn't want to smear his Master's name by winning an unfair fight, also he has to ensure Cao Hu's safety, this is the mission his master had entrusted him.

"You can go Cao Hu will stay. I can't let someone who kidnapped and almost r.a.p.ed my girlfriend get away like this. I'm a man, I will protect my loved ones!" Fu Ya wanted to convince Wang Ming to just leave, but she couldn't find the words for it after hearing what Wang Ming had to say.

Zhou Jian just sighed. He truly wanted a fair fight, but since Wang Ming didn't give up, he could only fight.

Leaping at Wang Ming, Zhou Jian threw a simple punch at Wang Ming. Even though the punch looked simple, Wang Ming felt incredible pressure from it. He tried to dodge the punch, but it was like Zhou Jian's fist was a homing rocket, chasing him. He couldn't dodge the punch Wang Ming had to take the punch head on.

Bracing himself like he had learnt from his master Jie, Wang Ming crossed his arms to block Zhou Jian's punch. The moment his arms came in contact with Zhou Jian's fist, he felt not only his arms shaking from the punch, but even his body and organs started shaking from the pressure.

Wang Ming felt his organs shaking harder and harder. If this kept going, his organs would probably explode from all the pressure. He tried to push Zhou Jian away but sadly his stance was just too strong, Wang Ming couldn't push him an inch back. Blood came out of Wang Ming's eyes, nose and ears since the artery there couldn't withstand the pressure. If he had been a normal person, his heart would probably have exploded a long time ago.

Wang Ming in panic stepped back, which weakened Zhou Jian's stance, since Wang Ming did it so unexpectedly Zhou Jian leaned forwards which gave Wang Ming the chance to pull his arms back. Zhou Jian gritted his teeth as this was his secret move. Even though the punch looked simple, it's a technique he has perfected for the last 20 years.

The beauty of the technique is to bait the opponent into blocking the move which is loaded with maximum power, not only that Zhou Jian has harnessed the power of an offensive artifact which gives him the ability to produce small shock waves, he then sends the shock waves into the opponents body which will kill them if he's given enough time.

Sadly, it's a technique that only works once, after he has used the ability he needs to rest for another day before he can use it again. Wang Ming wanted to counterattack, but his body felt too weak. The shock waves had wreaked havoc in his body. He could only grit his teeth while glaring at Zhou Jian.

"I'm sorry, friend, but a fight is a fight." Zhou Jian recognized instantly Wang Ming's condition, he couldn't give Wang Ming a chance to recover, so he started his attack again. Even though he couldn't use his special technique, his martial arts are more than enough to deal with a weakened Wang Ming.

Wang Ming dodged some attacks and even hit Zhou Jian back multiple times, but the wounds sapped his power, Zhou Jian didn't even get hurt from his attacks. His body soon was soon covered in blood, Zhou Jian's punches had been ruthless, Wang Ming's body had been wounded from head to toe. His breath weakened by the second, Fu Ya couldn't bear to see Wang Ming being beaten up anymore.

Gathering her courage, she used her body to shield Wang Ming, with Zhou Jian's power one hit would definitely kill her. Wang Ming tried to push her away, but he couldn't. Wang Ming shouted as loud as he could, hoping it would stop or distract the man enough for him to pull Fu Ya to safety.

"STOP!"
